- I an NOT officially entered anywhere for the Tour de Fleece - just a lone yarn spinner having fun!
Using the Tour de Fleece as a good excuse to renew my spinning life, which has been on the back burner for some time...
I DO know that piece of equipment is called a "bobbin" and not a "spindle" - really I do!

Thank you! That was fun 🎉 We have a lot in common: basics from Mom, learn from books, being told years later that I knit wrong, spin for fun, and what feels good! Got a bag of alpaca… spun raw, cadre and spun, ply because it’s too thin…
See you tomorrow!
You're doing a great job, hugs from new subby xx
I'm also tagging along solo with the Tour de Fleece for the 1st time. I started spinning in October on a drop spindle and I now have 3 drop spindles and an Ashford Traveller I came across for £95 in a charity shop a couple of months ago. My goal is to spin for at least half an hour every day, to improve my wheel spinning and get the hang of my bottom whorl drop spindle. I also hope to spin a sweater quantity of yarn.
Awesome!! Those are amazing goals - I was so proud when I spun enough yarn for a pair of socks and knit them up - but a WHOLE SWEATER!! Good for you!
I'd love to see pictures of your spinning! You could post them on the "MicroCosmic Farms" Facebook page if you use it...
\(^-^)/ My kind of spinner
I am spinning 3 ply which I have never done before...have no one to spin with and spin dailly even if it is only 20 minutes...spin on an Ashford tradtional and use my Kiwi for plying...my goal for this tour de fleece
I hope your goals are going well!
